John MacKenzie chats with Craig Crawford, State Member for Barron River, about the Double Island lease held by Benny Wu's Fortune Island Holding Company and the push to see a return of facilities and tourism infrastructure.

The lease for Double Island was acquired by Fortune Island Holding Company in 2012,  making it over 20 years now that locals have been waiting for major works to begin.
